Bleznick Tripples as Bubble Slows Play Down

Frank Visser

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jason Mercier raised to 75,000 in early position. Allan Le called in the cutoff, as did the short-stacked Jared Bleznick in the big blind.

Bleznick went all in for 45,000 on the 5♥9♣Q♣ flop, which Mercier raised to 90,000. Le then made it 240,000 to go, and Mercier called.

Le made a pot-sized bet on the 10♦ turn, prompting Mercier to check-fold.

Jared Bleznick: K♣J♦10♣7♦ All in
Allan Le: A♠K♦Q♠4♦

Bleznick's turned straight remained the nuts on the 3♠ river, and he celebrated as he survived seven spots away from the money.
